Cancer can seem unavoidable, but we luckily know that certain behaviors and health choices are correlated with a higher risk of cancer. In this part of the course project, you will create an action plan based on the strategies you learned in this module to minimize cancer risk that is applicable to your own life. Next, think about your current lifestyle and habits. Given the ideal behaviors for minimizing cancer risk, what changes could you make to the way you live now?

Potential changes fall into three broad categories: lifestyle changes, eating habits, the way you prepare your food. Select five specific changes that you can make and write them in the “Anti-Cancer” section of the table on page 4 of this document. Then, explain the science behind why each one may have an impact on your risk for cancer.

Action Plan Table

Tip: Make each action step as specific and personal as possible. Don’t just repeat the strategy—tell us how you will incorporate it into your routine. Here are a few examples:

  • Bad Example: I will exercise more.
  • Good Example: I will do 20 jumping jacks before breakfast every morning.

  • Bad Example: I will eat more fruit.
  • Good Example: I will replace my morning doughnut with a citrus fruit 4x per week.
